Braised Mangalitsa Neck Roll Open Faced Sandwich with Mt. Townsend Creamery Fromage Blanc and Grand Central Bakery Ciabatta Bread

July 29, 2010 by ericriveracooks

I saw a local magazine that had the 48 best sandwiches in Seattle on it. This sandwich was not on their list…..their list is invalid. This is the best sandwich in Seattle. The Mangalitsa neck roll is braised for 12 hours with my special touches and additions. The bread is toasted in brown butter then the meat is lightly fried in the remaining brown butter then the braising liquid is added on top of the sandwich. The cheese is added […]

Mangalitsa B.L.T.

May 31, 2010 by ericriveracooks

If I owned a restaurant then this would definitely go on my menu for lunch. It might even be one of those things that I just have for a late-night menu that only a few chosen people know about (I like secrets). It’s a f’ing amazing sandwich and ridiculously easy to make but the ingredients are what make it amazing. It’s not just a b.l.t. The bacon is from Wooly Pigs. Heath breeds mangalitsa pigs that currently have the highest […]

Iberico Ham + Beecher’s Flagship + Bread = Epic Grilled Cheese Sandwich

March 4, 2010 by ericriveracooks

I have no idea why the bread looks so black…it was a nice golden brown color…..weird. Anyway, EPIC GRILLED CHEESE!!!!! I love Iberico Ham. #1 because it is probably the most amazing ham I’ve ever had and #2 it has my name in it….I just blew your mind didn’t I? This is a very simple recipe to follow. You take some Iberico Ham then you place it on bread with some grated Beecher’s Flagship Cheese. Then you take some duck […]

Pancetta Demi-Baguette Sandwich with Pickled Delights, Sauteed Onions and Yellow Bell Peppers

February 21, 2010 by ericriveracooks

This sandwich has a little bit of everything and while it may seem there is too much going on the flavors compliment each other in such a great way. I made my way to the farmers market and picked up some pancetta and then brought it home then sliced it up in order to lightly cook it. This is an easy way for me to salt something without having to add a bunch of extra salt, also the fat that […]

February 4, 2010 by ericriveracooks

On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this sandwich an Eleventy!!!11!!!!!!!1!!!! We’re in the process of packing crap up so that involved getting rid of/eating as much stuff in the refrigerator I could so I didn’t have to move it. I used some leftover braised short rib meat, pepperjack cheese and 6 quail eggs with a a touch of salt and pepper…simple and awesome. I made another sandwich that I gave to Mindy but I didn’t take a […]

It’s National Pomegranate Month so I’m pulling out all the stops. This is my second post featuring pomegranates for this celebration of the all mighty POM Wonderful Pomegranates. Lynda Resnick (the owner of POM) sent me a copy of her book and it inspired me to just go full bore with my ideas and not worry about what anyone else thinks. She famously “overpaid” for Jackie Kennedy’s pearl necklace. She paid $211,000 for it at auction but then came up […]

Audrey’s Vegetarian French Dip

November 2, 2009 by ericriveracooks

It doesn’t beat a real French Dip but it certainly is a good substitute for those non-meat eaters. Ingredients: Portobello mushrooms……large and small Soy sauce Cornstarch Onions, caramelized Bread Black pepper, tt Provolone cheese Olive oil Salt Procedure: Take a medium sauce pan and pour in 3 cups of water and a few small mushrooms then simmer for an hour […]

I love sandwiches. I’ve always wanted to create my own signature sandwich so I am starting the process of doing that. Of course it won’t be just one sandwich, it will probably be 20 different sandwiches. This Pastrami Sandwich is awesome and I will definitely be adding this to the list of signature sandwiches. I’ll leave the ingredients for you but I’m keeping the techniques in my back pocket. Ingredients: Pastrami Cheese Black Olives Red Bell Pepper Tomato Mushroom Awesome! […]
